Biden 'like a sunny day'

NEW YORK – Vice President Biden’s plans to crash the GOP celebration in the Tampa area next week are still on, even though Tropical Storm Isaac is bearing down on the region.

Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki, asked aboard Air Force One what kind of storm Biden would himself bring to Republicans, said he’d bring calm skies.

“I think Biden is like a sunny day to the middle-class families across this country who are looking for someone who is going to fight for them in the White House,” Psaki said.

Psaki also said Michelle Obama will appear next week on the “Late Show” with David Letterman Aug. 29. The president will also hit the trail next week, with stops in Iowa, Colorado and Virginia next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Obama is now at New York’s Lincoln Center, where he is to appear at fundraisers, one of which will feature pro basketball stars including Michael Jordan.
